Solution

When viewed under a microscope at x 60 magnification, a human egg cell, which is roughly 100 μm wide, would appear to be 6000 μm wide. This is because the size of the object being viewed is multiplied by the magnification of the microscope. So, 100 μm (the actual size of the egg cell) x 60 (the magnification) = 6000 μm.
